We are open on Fridays. Yelp has locked the hours wrong. Mon – Thurs 11a – 6p, Fri-Sat 11a – 8p, Sun 11a – 7p. Thank you! Slow-smoked, Southern style barbecue with a Southwest flair! We smoke all of our meats in house so our ribs will have you drooling, and the tender shredded brisket, pork and chicken will have you begging for more! Outdoor seating with majestic views, Monday through Friday Happy Hour special offers half priced drafts, and live music on Friday and Saturday nights make this a mountaintop experience to forever remember Jerome! Established in 1899. The English Kitchen restaurant building was originally built in 1899 as an adobe structure on a stone foundation. The builder, Charley Hong, built the establishment on leased land after losing his previous restaurant at another location in the fire of May 1899. The new restaurant was opened for business before many of the other commercial businesses had a chance to recover from the devastating fire.Charley entered the United States from China in 1880 at the age of twelve. Although he became a naturalized citizen, Charley returned in his later years to die in his native land. In Jerome he was well liked, respected, and was known as having fed more people than any other restaurateur in town. Hong’s Restaurant, later known as the English Kitchen, was where miners, residents and travelers could obtain good meals using cash of the popular meal tickets. The kitchen was known as the best Chinese restaurant in Jerome, frequented by people of all classes and nationalities, as it is today.
